An incomplete tertiary flake of brown flint, which appears to have snapped in half along the long axis, perhaps as a result of post depositional damage. A bulbar scar is retained at the proximal end. The remaining long edge appears to have short, scaled low-angle retouch along it, suggesting that the flake was utilised as a tool.

A large and coarse scraper dating from the Neolithic to Bronze Age. The scraper is struck off a tertiary flake made of speckled light orange brown flint with a matte patina. The scraper is broadly tear dropped shape in plan and a pointed oval in cross section. This distal edge, which makes up nearly an entire curved edge of the flake has short parallel, semi abrupt retouch on its dorsal face. The dorsal face also demonstrates at least two earlier flake removals struck in a different direction to the flake. The ventral surface shows no retouch but has a pronounced bulb of per…

Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large flint hammerstone. A rounded, sub-speroidal piece of mid grey-brown flint with a low gloss patina and iron staining. There are areas of use wear (battering) on much of the surface around the "equator" of the speroid with a few areas on the "poles" where the object was held in use. These retain off-white nodule cortex. This object is probably prehistoric, but such stones have also been found in later contexts (e.g. Roman) and it is difficult to be certain of the date. Date: Prehistoric (Mesolithic to Bronze Age) - c 8300 - 800 BC Dime…

A later Neolithic or early Bronze Age flint piercer made from a tertiary flake of dark brown flint, 51mm in length. The flake is triangular with a long tip which is worked into a point with intrusive low angle and semi abrupt scaled retouch along both sides. The ventral surface has a prominent bulbar scar and conchoidal rippling suggesting hard hammered removal.

A flint end scraper probably of Neolithic date (c. 4000-2500 BC). The object is formed from a tertiary flake and is rectangular in plan and broadly D-shaped in cross-section. The dorsal surface has some large invasive flake removals along the sides and but end, with invasive abrupt and semi-abrupt retouch at the distal end. The central area of the dorsal face is unworked with a thin layer of cloudy recortification. The ventral surface is flat and unworked with a transverse hinge fracture at the but end. The semi-transluscent flint is dark-grey with p…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint arrowhead of later Neolithic triangular or oblique type, 38.7mm in length. The dorsal face has long invasive retouch, the ventral side is not retouched and has a low bulbar scar at the point. The cross section is triangular with a flat and a convex face. One of the long edges has semi-abrupt retouch and the base is slightly hollowed, although not retouched. At one corner of the base edge is a broken stump which may be the remains of a single projecting barb. The surface of the object is heavily recorticated with a white patina from prolonged deposition in calcareous…

A large, cruved tertiary flint flake of Neolithic date, 150mm in length. The flake has a low bulb of percussion and a narrow striking platform; the distal point narrows to a point defined by hinge fractured removals. The dorsal surface has removal scars from multiple angles. There is no indication of retouch or use as a tool suggesting that the flake is possibly waste from core or axehead reduction.

An incomplete late Neolithic flint tool, probably a fabricator dating c.3300-2200 cal BC. The tool is formed from a tertiary thick flake or a core of creamy white flint with areas of yellow buff cortex. The object is sub-triangular in plan and in cross-section with an old transverse break the wider end, the sides narrowing to  a rounded point at the other. One side is slightly convex and the other angled with a prominent central arise. There is large, scaled and long invasive removals on both sides. There is some red staining on the arises. Me…

An incomplete early to middle Neolithic flint leaf arrowhead dating c. 4000-2900 BC. The arrowhead is formed from a tertiary flake and is a short, squat, ogival form of Greens type 1A (Butler 2005): fig 48. The object is bifacially worked with covering, sub-parallel, low-angled retouch on one side with some short scaled retouch on the blade edges. The reverse side has  invasive, sub-parallel, low-angled retouch with an unworked area in the centre. There is a short section of the edge missing from the side of the butt end of the arrowhead. The semi-transclucent…
